M4rky,
is it possible to see the state of a boolean counter ?

Repeater should help.

Boolean is really simple. Maybe you are over thinking it. There is nothing much to encode.

eg.
My blinds close in stages depending on the internal temperature and if its sunny.
Scenario partial closeScenario full closeI use booleans to prevent the blinds repeatedly going back and forth between full and partial closed positions e.g. if blinds fully close and then the  room cools a bit.

Like this
Scenario 'fully close blinds' sets a boolean 'fully close' to true
Scenario 'partially close blinds' only runs only if Boolean 'fully closed' = false
When the blinds are opened again then the booleans indicating blind state are reset

Yes but BTicino do not make it easy. Checking the state of booleans' would make life a lot easier.

I have Screen10 panel. It can show if an actuator is open or closed. Normally that would be to show if a light is on or off.  I used some spare actuators connected to nothing and set them to open or close depending on a boolean state. So I get a green indicator if a Boolean is true. I only do this for really important booleans eg Master off, auto run.
A slight problem with that is the display shows the boolean indicator as switch and someone... not saying who ....could switch it on/off by mistake... So, I used another scenario and the boolean to switch it immediately back to reflect the correct boolean state...  A nice but more expensive way would be to use a Basic contact interface module as well as actuator. The screen10 can show the state of the contact module and user cannot accidentally change the state on the panel.

Its possible to set the start conditions for several scenarios to be the same and use 'only if' condition to decide which one is actually run.

A tip for debugging. The web admin page of the MH202 shows which scenarios are currently running.

Thank you very much M4rky !! I will try this  !!! You're great !

M4rky, can you please show me an example with  Print Screen how you integrate the boolean for recording that the blinds are fully closed ?

Hi M4rky,
As expect I tried to use the boolean and that 's my result :
Boolean with the True/false value -- > wroks fine (as not so difficult to program it)Counter : Impossible to make it work. Here is the scenario I just realized to test the Counter :

When I turn on the garage lights 3 times, the kitchen light should turn on.

1. Creation of 1 Scenario for my Counter :
Start Area :
Garage Light -> ONAction Area :
Command -> Value  | Step -> 1Address -> Counter 1
2. Creation of 1 Scenario to Turn on the kitchen lights

Start Area :
Garage Light : -> ONCondition :
Command -> Variable ValueCondition -> '='If Value -> '3'Address -> Counter 1Perhaps you will find my mistake....
In advance I thank you a lot

Will do when I get time but I think we should start a new thread just for MH202 topics

I posted a reply here

BTicino MyHome bus: MH202 advanced scenario controller

When I get time I will move the other MH202 scenario posts from this general thread to the new dedicated one

I also saw that there is a new bticino product called smarther for temperature. Does anyone of you have it already and how doeis it work?

And my last question: does anyone have the f459 for weather issues as there is stilll the problem that it is not sold in a lot of countries...

I've also just joined the forum having not had any success in getting responses on the MyOpen forums. I've read through the posts here and seems like people really want to help which is great.

I've just had a MyHome system installed in my new house primarily to control lighting and blinds. The system was installed by an installer using the hard configurators using rather than the virtual method which is the way i want to go now.

I've just purchased and installed the F454 web server and connected it to the SCS bus. However I have a problem when I log in via through MyHome Suite through my network using ip address 192.168.1.35 (I don't use a crossover ethernet cable). It seems to connect however I immediately get the message "Plant disconnected: connection to remote host lost" and it doesn't retrieve any information from the system.

I can login to the F454 webserver directly but all I see via the portal is a single configuration under lighting called "Gen1" which only allows all the lights on and off together but no individual control.

Any ideas, thanks?
